Hi
Is anyone aware of a lower cost Kiritsuke, they seem to start at around $500+ does anyone make a good version in the $200-$300 range ?

Are you referring to true single bevel kiritsukes or kiritsuke gyutos? If it is the latter Konosuke does a fairly cheap one in white and HD steel, I've also seen a few Moritakas which seem quite popular. If you are talking about true single bevel kiritsukes I can't really help you, but at the same time a lot of single bevel knives are expensive for a reason. Some knives you don't wanna go cheap on. If it's single bevel kiritsukes you are talking about are you sure you really need one? They're pretty specialised
For what purpose is the kiritsuki specialized?

It's somewhat of a crossbreed of usuba and yanagiba, sometimes referred to as "multipurpose knife".

Not really sure, just investigating thyings and trying to get a feel.
In terms of actually needing it, not at all, this is strictly a vanity purchase
How do you avoid buying stuff just because it looks cool though !!!
